This paper presents the detailed evaluation and classification of Surface Electromyogram (SEMG) signals at different upper arm muscles for different operations. After acquiring the data from selected locations, interpretation of signals was done for the estimation of parameters using simulated algorithm. First, different types of arm operations were analysed; then statistical techniques were implemented for investigating muscle force relationships in terms of amplitude estimation. The classification (Artificial Neural Network) based results have been presented for detecting different pre-defined arm motions in order to discriminate SEMG signals. The outcome of research indicates that a neural network classifier performs best with an average classification rate of 92.50%. Finally, the result also inferred the operations which were observed to be easy for arm recognition and the study is a step forward to develop powerful, flexible and efficient prosthetic designs.

Age-related changes to the orbicularis oculi muscle include impaired eyelid function, such as lagophthalmos, alterations in tear film dynamics, and aesthetic changes like wrinkles, festoons, and the descent of soft tissue. To date, the structural and functional changes that would comprehensively increase our understanding of orbicularis aging have not been analyzed. This study aims to investigate functional outcomes using surface electromyography and correlate them with ultrastructural changes in orbicularis during aging.

This study aimed to predict and fit the nonlinear dynamic grip force of the human upper limb using surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals. The research employed a time-series-based neural network, NARX, to establish a mapping relationship between the electromyographic signals of the forearm muscle groups and dynamic grip force. Three-channel electromyographic signal acquisition equipment and a grip force sensor were used to record muscle signals and grip force data of the subjects under specific dynamic force conditions.

Surface electromyography (sEMG), a non-invasive technique, offers the ability to identify insights into the activities of muscles in the form of electrical pulses. During the process of recording, the sEMG signals frequently become contaminated by a multitude of different artifacts, the origin of which may be attributed to numerous sources. These artifacts affect the reliability and accuracy of the pure sEMG activity, and subsequently reduce the quality of analysis and interpretation.

Background: Muscle fatigue, characterized by reduced force generation during repetitive contractions, impacts older adults doing daily activities and athletes during sports activities. While various sensors detect muscle fatigue via muscle activity, biochemical markers, and kinematic parameters, a real-time wearable solution with high usability remains limited. Plantar pressure monitoring detects muscle fatigue through foot loading changes, seamlessly integrating into footwear to improve the usability and compliance for home-based monitoring.

This study examined the effects of core and muscle temperature on force steadiness and motor unit discharge rate (MUDR) variability after a hot-water immersion session. Fifteen participants (6 women; 25±6 years) completed neuromuscular assessments before and after either 42ºC (hot) or 36ºC (control) water immersion. Force steadiness was measured during knee extension, while HD-sEMG signals were recorded from vastus lateralis and medialis for MUDR variability analysis.
